Bubba 18 - Pre98 Bubba Kush x X18. Info and grow-along.

[VerdantGreen]

Thanks guys that is great news, my apple/cider smelling one smoked really nice and had good potency. Looking forward to more feedback on this !

VG, one of my bubba 18's are acting wayward. Weird leaf formations and multiple branching. Would this be a good plant to keep or discard? Just curious. Ive definitely never seen a plant do this before

 

[Jahaze]

Let her grow bro unless you are tight on space. Sometimes those weird once turn out just right....my 2¢

 

[VerdantGreen]

hey rob i'd probably say the same. certainly looks a bit odd with leaf deformations but it sometimes corrects itself. Make sure it's not in cold or stagnant spot in the room.

[RobFromTX]

Excellent. Shes unique. i'll keep her

 

[VerdantGreen]

oh she may well be a dud... but she might not be. Some people would chuck it and forget about it.. it's personal choice. interested to see more Bubba 18 grows and the plants they produce!

 

[RobFromTX]

The bubba 18s appear to the most robust of the 3 strains (pine tar and C4dd). Very healthy and 2 are turning purple. Im shocked they dont get more attention

 

[VerdantGreen]

yeah it is a pure 'indica' or very close to that.. it takes years for a new cross like this to start catching on. but the more grow shows/pics/reports the better so thanks for posting yours !

Is this a sign of underwatering? They seem to be droopy and curling in.

I don't think so. Why do you suspect underwatering? Have you not been watering?

Yeah a few days ago. Its the only bubba 18 displaying it. Im just new growing indicas. Never seen this on a plant

 

[VerdantGreen]

Hi Rob, underwatering would show as a 'whole plant' response. hard to see from that pic under the light... perhaps post a pic of the whole plant under natural light so i can see the colour etc... sometimes too much LED light can make leaves curl under.
For watering i find it useful to get used ti the weight of the pot when wet and dry (called 'shucking' ) - then it is easy to judge how wet the soil is.

hings are coming along good. Purpling has slowed but i dig the compact easy to manage structure of this strain

Nice plant that, fat leaves. Usually when leaves curl down like that its due to overwatering and the roots are drowning leading to root rot if not careful. The plant looks nice and healthy so it might just be the phenotype.

 

[RobFromTX]

Much thanks! Im definitely thinking its a phenotype thing. As only 2 plants are showing it, both bubba 18s

 

[VerdantGreen]

looking good and yeah the leaves are wide !
it might be worth feeling the weight of the pot compared with some others and if its a lot heavier, the soil will be wetter - and you can leave it out of the watering until its dried out a bit. i sometimes find different phenos have vastly different water consumption....

Better pic

 

[Cakeboy]

reveggin this one, hopefully I can show a bud in a few weeks

 

[VerdantGreen]

Nice reveg ! - was it a nice smoke? how did it smell?

VG

 

[Cakeboy]

Hey VG
didnt get to try it, it was a quick outside seed run on the ascending sunlight... did make a few seeds and did get an apple smell, so am looking forward to giving her a better run inside

cheers
